We (or I) should return this thread back to the owner of what was the finest Canadian Numismatic collection ever seen.... Sid Belzberg and his fantastic coins! You actually had to have sunglasses on to see some of those coins. I felt privileged to have had a beer or two with him that day with our CCRS group.

The only toonies I saw that day were tips for the bar-keep.

 I can only dream of a set like this(my toonie collection is probably better). If he had the 1911/12 specimen set alone is a dream set. Throw in the 1921 50¢ as well and just WOW. I can only imagine the time, money and effort that went into putting this set together, truly a masterpiece of a collection. I envy you guys for being able to just look at this collection. This is the only forum I have ever been a part of and it is extremely American dominant. Is there a registry link Fortnite his coins before he sold them so I could take a look? |

Wrekkdd ... How can you say that the CCF Canadian subforums are "American dominant"? The only subforums that you post on are all on Canadian coinage. If you want to know about Sid's coins and the auctions, do an archive search on this and other coin forums, plus the auction histories.

I meant the CCF has many more American posters then Canadian, I did not mean this specific part of the forum. This is in part due to the lack of research(on more modern Canadian coins compared to American) there are many people studying coins to change this. American coin errors and varieties are so we'll documented and free to the public. Canada has some paid websites and subscriptions, some books I am going to order. As for Sid's amazing collection I feel like on my cell phone would not be the proper way to look at them from what has been said.
This thread seems personal and I apologize for disturbing it.

I think that, by far, there are more Canadian posters than US ... many more. But I'm not talking about all of the forums and subforums that make up all of the CCF site. I only look at the Canadian subforums, not the myriad of CCF's total envelope. I've never been anywhere else other than the 5 Canuck subforums.

I meant the CCF in whole. Not the Canadian specific forum.

Much appreciated Sid, spectacular looking coins. I've never checked out the Heritage Auction site before.

Sid, you are an icon in Canadian numismatics.
It's funny that you mentioned Peter DeGraff. I always enjoyed my encounters with him when he did the antique circuit tours in various malls in Southwestern Ontario. He was a good guy. I bought a lot of good stuff from him. Such a knowledgeable dealer. As swell guy.
